First off, allow me to pass on a very big thank you to those who share their thoughtful advice so willingly on this forum. I have learned much from your comments and recommendations.
Over the past year I have been slowly customizing an 1976 Aero-Glass Phantom 14 and thought I might share some pix. This is not a high priority project for me so I tend to work on it more as a way to relax than with any real sense of urgency.
While the weather in Georgia is relatively nice in winter compared to what some of you up north are used to experienceing, it is still too cold outside for any serious fiberglass work or painting. As I do not have an indoor work space, I am currently in a holding pattern until the weather is consistently over 50 degrees - perhaps another month or so. So, with time on my hands, I went thru all my project photos, sorted them into categories, and posted them on photobucket for your enjoyment. I hope you don't find them too booring.

I like using the slideshow feature in photobucket. If you think you would like that too, just click on words "view album as slide show."
Best regards,
